The association between physical activity, low-grade inflammation, and labour market attachment among people with multimorbidity: A cross-sectional study from the Lolland-Falster Health Study, Denmark.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Evidence suggests low-grade inflammation (LGI) to be associated with multimorbidity. Furthermore, there are links between inflammation markers, physical activity (PA), and labour market participation. The aims of this study were to examine the association between PA and LGI in people with multimorbidity and if this association was moderated by self-reported labour market attachment.

Methods

Cross-sectional data were collected in the Lolland-Falster Health Study (LOFUS) from 2016-2020. We included 1,106 participants with multimorbidity and valid accelerometer data. PA was measured as the average counts per minute (CPM) per day during wake time and split in time spent in moderate to vigorous intensity (MVPA) and light intensity (LPA). Degree of inflammation was determined
